In his tweets, PM Modi also noted that the world remembers 9/11 (September 11) for the terror attack on this day in the USA and said if humans had walked on the path of Bahve’s slogan of ”Jai Jagat” and Vivekananda’s nineteenth-century message of universal brotherhood, the destruction that happened after would not have occurred.
The world remembers 9/11 for the dastardly attack on this day in USA. If only humankind had walked on the path of ‘Jai Jagat’ given by Acharya Vinoba Bhave & Swami Vivekananda’s message of Universal Brotherhood given in 1893, the destruction that followed would not have occurred.

Paying tribute to Bhave on his 125th birth anniversary, the prime minister wrote-
In 1918 Bapu wrote about Acharya Vinoba Bhave- "I do not know in what terms to praise you. Your love and your character fascinate me and so also your self-examination. I am not fit to measure your worth.”
Pranams to the venerable Acharya Vinoba Bhave on his 125th Jayanti.
